Actic Group AB (Buy, TP: SEK56.00) - Acquisitions delivering

Actic’s Q1 was a little mixed with solid integration of recent acquisitions and better cost control balanced by a slightly weaker underlying ARPM growth. Organic growth still seems costly while Actic’s acquisition track record looks solid, suggesting a change to future capital allocation. The lack of focus on this small-cap growth story has led to an attractive valuation of 10.7% 2018e FCF yield (15.6% pre-expansion capex). We retain our BUY; target price lowered to SEK56 (57.5).
